Finally Questions and answers from Roosevelt Island residents to the Cornell NYC Tech representatives. Questions focused on concerns regarding demolition, construction and transportation among others. Cornell has stated that they do not intend to barge any construction material on or off the site but rather will truck the materials during regular daytime working hours.

According to Mr. Winters, Cornell plans on reducing the amount of truck traffic trips by 30 - 40%. It will do so by using some of the demolished rubble material from Goldwater Hospital to raise the level of the campus site out of the floodplain.
